7 genes linked to Abnormal shape of tendon

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal shape of tendon is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.

Gene	How often it is seen	Conditions
ABCG5ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 5	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
ABCG8ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 8	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
APOBapolipoprotein B	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
LDLRlow density lipoprotein receptor	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
LDLRAP1low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
PCSK9proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
GBA2glucosylceramidase beta 2	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition

How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
